OLD MAN GOYA(ISBN=9780375705793) 英文原版 下载 pdf 百度网盘 epub 免费 2025 电子书 mobi 在线

In 1792, when he was forty-seven, the Spanish painter Francisco de Goya contracted an illness that left him stone deaf. Yet he continued to interact with the world and to create, spending the next thirty-five years in a world emptied of sound but bursting with images of pageantry, cruelty, and pathos.

In this brilliant, idiosyncratic book – a kaleidoscope of biography, memoir, history, and meditation – Julia Blackburn vividly imagines the artist’s world during this time. She recreates the artist’s friendships and love affairs and breathes life into the subjects of his paintings: an ethereally lovely duchess; the spoiled grotesques of the Bourbon court; the atrocities of the Napoleonic wars. Old Man Goya is a rare work of empathy and imagination, a stunning portrait of the mind and life of a great artist.

媒体评论

　　“Extraordinary . . . Throughout, the writer’s evocations of

Goya’s work are not just intensely visual but virtually audible . .

. Blackburn writes to startling effect.” —The New York Times

　　“[Blackburn’s] real talent is in conjuring up lives . . . You

have the uncanny sensation that you have met Goya, felt his honest

horny hands, watched him work.” —The Economist

　　“[Blackburn’s] rare imagination and profound intelligence . . .

carry her into the mind and the work of Francisco de Goya . . .

Each image, exquisite in its plainness, draws us first into the

landscape, then into the past, a process Blackburn repeats until we

are mesmerized.” —The Boston Globe

　　“[A] singular, empathetic homage….Blackburn's attempt to see with

Goya's eyes…is most successful and moving. . . .She writes like a

painter of still lives.” —The Observer (London)

　　“Blackburn’s prose is elegant and precise, illuminated by

intelligence, curiosity, and a refined visual sense . . . [She]

beautifully conveys the changed reality of the newly deaf painter.”

—Literary Review
